ryan, christie, think the voice from the bleachers shtick did not scale up and off kramden for president did not look as good in tampa as it should have. so it have to be taught to be serious, but daniels, ryan in different ways. the bigger question is is very candidate who advances the jeb bush now says. and by the way, it's not guaranteed from the wilderness. obama after three great weeks is that safety. so it's not like he's at 54. but if romney does lose, i think the big question will be, is there someone who challenges the party on issues, particularly with immigration and maybe on social issues. >> i think someone who explicitly makes that case would do worse. look upon the town of virginia, not that he'll be a national candidate, but if someone who clearly was socially conservative. telegraphic lueders voters and so he was able to go after suburban voters what have you, but because he thought of him is reliable, he was able to frame things differently and effectively. i tend to think that's a better model is someone who explicitly says hey guys, compare huntsmen, for example, to g
